Chapter 1344: Chapter 1311: The Opening of the 10th Layer of the Ghost Domain

More and more old women are coming closer, the red light is receding, and the Ghost Domain that previously covered a full twenty kilometers is now easily invaded and torn apart.

Wrinkled arms are now draped over Yang Jian’s body, causing irreversible damage to him even without doing anything, and even his restart state can’t repair this damage, only slightly delay the time until he is killed.

The past being sealed means Yang Jian, who could reverse time, has lost his biggest support.

In other words, Meng Xiaodong found a way to counter Yang Jian in a short time.

At this moment, Yang Jian is no longer restraining the opponent but is being restrained by the opponent.

Clearly, in terms of experience fighting the supernatural, Meng Xiaodong surpasses Yang Jian.

Yang Jian is now emitting red light all over his body, constantly entering the restart state. In this state, the number of old arms on him rapidly decreases, but then quickly increases again…repeatedly, the restart speed simply cannot keep up with the attack speed.

Therefore, the arms touching his body become more and more numerous.

Moreover, as time passes, this imbalance in speed is accelerating.

“I see, this old woman not only appears before me but also in my past. My restart state exposes me to the old woman of the past. If I continue restarting, she continues invading and attacking my past, and now the reason I can’t restart to escape Meng Xiaodong’s attack is that my restart speed is slower than her invasion speed.”

“Infinite restart against infinite invasion, I am at a disadvantage…”

Yang Jian understood the situation at this moment.

No wonder Meng Xiaodong said earlier that the numbers are sufficient.

If the number of people invading the past doesn’t reach a certain scale, it’s insufficient to seal the past.

So, to counter Meng Xiaodong, the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. He must kill her as quickly as possible.

But Yang Jian knows this flaw, Meng Xiaodong certainly knows as well after living so many years.

Thus, Meng Xiaodong controls countless death dolls, she doesn’t need to act directly, merely relying on a sufficient number of death dolls and that eerie doll to delay time, once the time arrives, she can kill you with overwhelming numbers that lead to despair.

In direct confrontation, Yang Jian truly felt the horror of these Republic of China era monsters.

“No, I can’t give up now. I don’t believe Meng Xiaodong will kill me. If I were to die here, Old Qin could come alone with Meng Xiaodong to deal with me, why bring Sexton Luo Qian? If he can foresee the future, why make unnecessary moves?”

“There must be some changes that I don’t know about.”

Yang Jian’s face was now full of wrinkles, rapidly aging, his facial features gradually transforming into another’s look, but he still gritted his teeth in determination.

A pair of ghost eyes emitted a red glow.

Maintaining the restart state was constant.

“Want to kill me by sealing the past? Don’t make me laugh. You want to play, then I’ll play with you to the end.” Yang Jian growled lowly at this moment.

He decided to cross directly over the Nine Layer Ghost Domain and activate the Tenth Layer Ghost Domain.

Merely reversing the situation was not enough; he needed to thoroughly defeat Meng Xiaodong.

If even the Tenth Layer Ghost Domain could not have a decisive influence, then he would have to accept dying here today.

Meng Xiaodong’s sinister voice sounded in his ear: “At this point, don’t be stubborn. Your restart is already failing, it can only delay the time for you to be killed by me but won’t have a decisive effect.”

Yang Jian remained silent as numerous ghost eyes on his skin kept opening.

Double ghost eyes overlapped.

Originally, the Eight Layer Ghost Domain could broadly restart, now one ghost eye only needed to open four layers, so if both ghost eyes respectively opened five layers, overlapping would make it the Ten Layer Ghost Domain, and it’s much easier than opening ten layers with a single ghost eye, the burden is reduced, theoretically Yang Jian can do it now.

However, overlapping Ghost Domains inherently stimulate Ghost Eye Resurrection.

But under these circumstances, there was no time to think about that.

Yang Jian had staked his life on the Ten Layer Ghost Domain, no one could stop his actions now.

“Hm?”

Meng Xiaodong noticed the anomaly on Yang Jian’s body as she saw the red light on him becoming more intense, as though soaked in blood.

“Ghost Domain overlapping? Could it be he hasn’t released all the supernatural power under these conditions? Is this what Xiao Qin meant by ’potential’?”

She detected the clues, wanting to speed up the invasion, but was unable to, instead she noticed the invasion speed was slowing, and the traces of invasion were being reversed.

“No, he’s breaking through the past blockade…”

Meng Xiaodong’s sinister expression suddenly changed, sensing something out of control and wrong.

Then, the next moment.

Before she could hesitate, a charred black hand suddenly reached out, gripping Meng Xiaodong.

Though it was just a regular charred ghost hand, it not only gripped the current Meng Xiaodong but seemed to grasp the past Meng Xiaodong as well, despite only existing in the present Yang Jian, just like Meng Xiaodong, also existing in countless time points in the past.

“Unknown changes are uncontrollable, but your supernatural power is too weak, can’t deal with me.” Meng Xiaodong tried to struggle but was shocked to find herself unable to break free from the ghost hand.

“Don’t be too confident, old woman, your game is over too.”

Yang Jian’s eyes glowed red; he seemed blood-soaked, his voice echoed as he spoke, appearing layered, as though spoken through countless time points converging together at the end.

At this moment, it was not like one person speaking, but countless Yang Jian speaking simultaneously.

Then.

Yang Jian raised his other hand, lifting the Firewood Knife again.

However, this simple action appeared different to Meng Xiaodong, for she saw countless Yang Jian in the past raising the Firewood Knife together, and the number was unbelievably large, even surpassing her.

Because she could only see the time points she existed in, she couldn’t see those she did not.

Soon, the knife fell again, slashing at Meng Xiaodong’s neck.

“It’s useless, I have the death doll, the Firewood Knife can’t deal with me…”

Meng Xiaodong spoke, but her old face changed, as a glaring scarlet wound appeared on her neck.

The wound underwent changes at an unimaginable speed, quickly repairing, then quickly tearing.

But the process compressed entirely within a second, impossible to clearly see.

But the outcome was apparent.

In an instant.

Meng Xiaodong’s neck, bearing a wound, abruptly tore open a ferocious cut after a brief stalemate, blood spurted forth, her aged head slowly detached from her neck, falling.

This scene happened not only before their eyes.

Nearby, the old women interacting with Yang Jian simultaneously had their necks torn, heads dropped, and wounds identical to Meng Xiaodong’s earlier.

Losing her head was tantamount to her body being dismembered.

Then Meng Xiaodong’s body also fell limply, the basket in her hand was overturned, and countless broken substitute dolls slipped out. The necks of all these dolls had been chopped off, not one was intact.

The corpses of the old ladies lay on the surface of the Ghost Lake.

The lake water unexpectedly turned blood red, and the corpses did not sink but instead floated irrationally on the Ghost Lake.

“Did we bet right? Is this the attack from the Tenth Layer Ghost Domain? Even the old monsters from the Republic of China Period couldn’t withstand it.” Yang Jian felt the encroachment on himself disappear instantly, and the damage he had suffered also instantly improved.

Everything returned to an intact state once again.

“What a joke, you actually have such means?”

Suddenly, the gloomy voice echoed once more, a new Meng Xiaodong appeared, looking at the hundreds of dead versions of herself on the lake, finding it unbelievable.

“My current state is very strange, a bit incomprehensible, but I feel that in this state, I should be able to handle you.” Yang Jian’s face was cold as he took a step forward.

But with that one step, countless overlapping figures appeared around him.

Some figures were walking to the left, some were walking backward, some were walking sideways… Countless overlapping figures began to separate from Yang Jian and gradually spread out.

The more Yang Jian walked forward, the more dispersed the figures became.

He merely walked a dozen steps forward.

The surface of the lake around him was filled with versions of himself, each holding a cracked long spear and looking exactly the same, resembling Meng Xiaodong’s infinite invasion.

“I see, the Ghost Domain began infinite folding, creating a time lag during the process of restarting itself, leading to countless versions of myself appearing. But each version used the method of restarting itself to pull all the versions into the same point in time. Clearly, it was just an ordinary slash, but with this overlap, it equated to thousands of slashes. No matter how many substitute dolls I have, I can’t withstand such consumption.”

Meng Xiaodong’s expression slightly twitched, squinting her eyes as she discerned the crux of the matter.

Moreover, this stacking algorithm is terrifying. With the first overlap, many Yang Jians appeared on the timeline during the restart process. Then pulling the Yang Jians from the past timeline to the same point in time, the number could reach a frightening extent.

Not to mention if this could be overlapped a second time, a third time… then Yang Jian’s numbers could not only fill the present time point but also fill past time points.

As long as this state persisted long enough, he could fill the past.

At this moment, Meng Xiaodong had to admit that she was no longer a match for Yang Jian in this state.

“Do you think I can kill you in this state?” Yang Jian spoke once more, and countless voices overlapped.

Meng Xiaodong replied with a gloomy face, “You can’t kill me. In this state, you won’t last long because you’re spiraling out of control. By overlapping too many past versions of yourself, not every version will act consistently. The longer it goes on, the greater the risk of losing control until you ultimately get lost among countless past versions, unable to maintain your self any longer.”

“Nonsense.”

Countless overlapping voices echoed over the Ghost Lake, like rolling thunder, making one’s ears buzz.

The next moment.

Scarlet beams of light struck, completely dyeing the world red.

Immediately afterward, numerous Yang Jians charged forward with their ghost eyes open.

In just the blink of an eye, Meng Xiaodong found herself surrounded by countless Yang Jian figures, even the sky above her head was obscured, and each figure overlapped layer by layer, claiming not only the present but also the past.

A slash came down.

The substitute dolls in Meng Xiaodong’s hand frantically resisted the attack, but unfortunately, they were exhausted in an instant. Subsequently, the attack of the Firewood Knife fell upon herself, and she was dismembered into countless pieces, unable to resist at all.

Moreover, not only was the present Meng Xiaodong killed, but every Meng Xiaodong within the past three hours was dismembered. The past she had sealed was breached by Yang Jian.

At this moment, he had won.

Yang Jian in the Tenth Layer Ghost Domain had perfectly resisted Meng Xiaodong’s infinite invasion.

But just as he completed all this, the red light that dyed the world instantly collapsed.

The ghost eye on Yang Jian’s body, which he obtained from this world, immediately exploded into a pool of scarlet fragments.

Countless Yang Jians rapidly disappeared…

All the terrifying abnormalities calmed instantly.

Yang Jian opened his palm and saw the shattered disintegrating eerie eyeball, his expression solemn: “Just by opening the Fifth Layer Ghost Domain, this ghost eye couldn’t withstand the damage? Is this world playing tricks, even disregarding the rule that ghosts can’t be killed?”

The double ghost eyes, ten-layer ghost domain seem not to be allowed to exist in this world.

After a brief appearance, the ghost eye from this world directly shattered, vanishing completely from this world, not allowing Yang Jian to easily reopen the Tenth Layer Ghost Domain again.

In other words, the ghost eye from this world died in this world.

“Forget it, the rules are made by others, if they cheat I can’t do anything about it.”

Yang Jian no longer entangled himself with this paranormal power that did not belong to him. At least he could now confirm that he indeed successfully defeated Meng Xiaodong.

But it was merely just a victory; he still did not completely kill her.

Coming back to his senses, he checked the time.

2:10.

He had bought himself twenty minutes of safety.

At 2:30, Old Qin would still appear.

The desperate outcome had not been reversed, and now he had lost one ghost eye. Infinite restart and the Tenth Layer Ghost Domain could not be activated again.

The path of survival he had painstakingly found was once again blocked by this world.

Yang Jian remained silent, immersed in deep thought by the Ghost Lake.

But the paranormal attack would not give him time to hesitate and contemplate.

Countless floating corpses beneath the Ghost Lake began to drift towards him once again at this moment.

No way, he didn’t want to get entangled with the Ghost Lake here, so he could only leave.

Before leaving, he took away the corpse of one of the old ladies.

On the forehead of this corpse was an old, rusty coffin nail, which was taken from Dachang City and was also a paranormal item in this world.

Fortunately, this world did not continue to cheat by causing the coffin nail to break and become ineffective.

However, the incident just now made Yang Jian more vigilant.

The paranormal in this world is unreliable.

Once certain limits are exceeded, this world will unreasonably counteract, even overthrowing the ironclad rule that ghosts can’t be killed.
